Dr Wee wants Selangor govt to shut down battery plant discharging hazardous waste


PETALING JAYA: The battery plant discharging hazardous waste that has polluted the drainage and waterways in Kampung Jenjarom in Kuala Langat, Selangor, must be shut down immediately, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

Lambasting the Selangor government and the Environment Department for taking a lackadaisical attitude towards the issue, the MCA president said there was no point serving the factory with stop-work notices since the owner took no heed of it.
